Northern Ireland are set to face Kosovo in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday evening at Windsor Park. A win for the hosts would be enough to avoid relegation to League D of the Nations League.
Ian Barraclough's men have had an underwhelming campaign so far, taking just two points from four matches, and are third in the group behind Greece and Kosovo. Moreover, they have won just once at Windsor Park in three years, against Lithuania in a World Cup qualifier, which puts them under even more pressure.
On the other hand, if their opponents eke out a win they would consolidate second spot in Group C2. Kosovo won 3-2 in the reverse fixture in June and will look to replicate their success at the weekend, albeit away from home. GOAL brings you details on how to watch the game on TV in the U.S., UK and India as well as how to stream live online.
